Stormcellar Band Home Page

How can we be helpful? How can we assist, how can we do anything.

How do we deal with feelings of powerlessness?

Our first duty is non cooperation with evil.

Here, deep in the safety of the stormcellar, we're focusing on giving you a mental respite from the maelstrom.

I think that's something we can do. I think we can show you a small pocket universe, somewhere in the ordinary bits of Oz, where we dodge wildlife, travel, write, work.

There comes a point though, where even as we try to provide that respite, that we understand that we cannot enable evil by staying silent.

We wish our cousins in the US the very best of fortune; we as Aussies, friends and members of the human species, we deeply hope that the Better Angels of your natures will prevail.

Won't be the first time I've said this:

Get well soon Superman, we need you as you were, as the example you've been, and if you've forgotten, try to see yourself the way that we do, still heroic, still inspirational, aspirational.

We need you to be that version of you, the one we want to be, that we criticise and secretly admire, that we emulate, both consciously and unconsciously.

The world needs you as you were and can be again. Get well Superman. 

Dion W, our friend who helps us make videos once famously said 'it's show business darling'

I've been watching the social media stuff with interest for some time. Touted as the way for Bands to reach their Audience.

Let's see, which one shall we invest our efforts in?

It seems reasonable to act in accord with what your learning leads you to.

If your physics does not describe the universe as you interact with it, check your math.

If your bucket does not hold water, get a new bucket. 

Like what we do? Think it has utility in your universe? Has a useful function? Makes you feel better? Does something useful?

Sooo....I put the Desk Mixes into an order.

We've got 26 tracks. (well....one track is still a guide)

At our preferred 13 an album, that's 2 albums.

SC10 is tracked. It needs a little mixing and mastering.

SC11 needs 1 more track from Brother Bill recorded. For the other 12 it's overdubs, Lyrics (OMG), solo's and assorted other stuff.

The plan is: 

Finish SC10 and release it. Also name it.

Finish SC11 and release it. It has a working title.

Release the two of them as a single CD package.

It's even got a name.

What's peculiar is that we haven't cleared the song backlog, there are still more waiting to be recorded.

If there's ever been a better time for those who like to make stuff, I'm not aware of it :-)

Road trip this weekend, listening to the song order. Thinking of what to fix, to change, to add.

Good times.

We're at the Bombala RSL on Saturday 14th and Cooma Markets 10am-midday on Sunday. Road Trip! Road Trip!

Thanks to Ben's hard work, and the strange outcomes of just getting on with it, we're at 13 tracks for SC10 and 12 for SC11.

This is 'in production', so there's many a slip twixt cup and disc, to mangle an aphorism.

Without any real sense of travelling, we've reached another milestone.

I spent some time putting all the tracks into one listening bucket. two very different sets of sounds.

In production terms there are several months worth of elapsed time to be expected before we can get it finished.

5D is now 5D + Beyond 5D. Needs some edits, some fixes and tweaks, mixing, ordering, mastering.

SC11 is now up to 12 out a target 13 (yeah dig it. 11 12 13. Cool).

I now have desk mixes for 13 and 12 tracks respectively. I have them in VLC in 2 play lists.

Mr Wizard wants to release it as a double.

Freedom's what you do with it.

Me? I gotta do artwork.

Also picking names for the releases would be good.
